I can't find an example that makes this possible but I'm sure some combo exists that could do it. (To be fair, I didn't look very hard because I don't have a lot of time)

If a creature is declared blocking another creature, and an ability or effect is applied at instant speed to cause the blocking creature to lose the permanent type Creature (example: if [[Vraska, Betrayal's Sting]]'s minus 2 ability could be activated at instant speed), what happens?

Does the now not-a-creature still take damage? While damage can't really destroy something that isn't a creature, would deathtouch still take effect? How would this interact with an attacking creature with trample?

Who would actually donate if I tried crowd-funding a nonprofit organization to put truck parking in the places most starved for it?

The idea here is not *free* parking, it's that the fee to park would be small and go towards property maintenance and expanding the reach to other cities. Think crowd-funded rest areas that you pay $5-$10 to park at, but they're close to major cities and hell, if I can raise enough to swing it, I'd be interested in setting up areas on the premises to build community among the truckers who park there, like having a fire pit every friday night.

Do you guys think I could get enough donations to do this if I set up a Kickstarter? How likely would *you personally* be to pledge something? And what cities do you think I could have the most impact on starting out? Bear in mind that starting out in a place where truck parking is absolutely effed, like NYC, will show almost no improvement in that area unless I was able to dump insane amounts of money to accommodate thousands of drivers, so think of cities that are effed enough to use the help but which aren't overly ambitious to start with.

I want to collect a souvenir from each state eventually, but the ones at chain truck stops are generic and boring. What are the best truck friendly stops to get actually decent souvenirs in each state? I've already crossed off Oklahoma with a mug from the welcome center by the Texas state line (US-75 I think?)

I can honestly say I can't think of one nice thing about Indiana.

... yes I was stuck in Indianapolis rush hour yesterday, what's your point?

I just took a shower at the Pilot in Newton, KS, and their cold water cooler must have been broke because I turned the hot water off so I could take a warm shower. Send help.

Driving in the Northeast (defined as DC, Maryland, New Jersey, and everything east of that), or California?

You are presented with a lever that has three settings, it is currently set in the middle. Pushing the lever forward will replace every asshole driver with a moron driver. Pulling it backward will replace every moron driver with an asshole driver.

Moron is defined as a driver who reaches highway speeds while on the on-ramp, sees a truck is in the slow lane, and slows to 40 mph because they're scared to pull out in front of the truck.

Asshole is defined as a driver in a suped up Civic who guns the throttle to cut you off from the shoulder while merging onto the highway even though you're already doing ten over.

Are you messing with the lever, or leaving it where it is?

I'm trying to determine the number of times a process must be completed on average to achieve a desired result a certain number of times. That is to say, each completion of the process gives a 1.1% chance of success, on average how many attempts would be made before succeeding 3 times?

And since I'm more interested in (re)learning the process than just having the answer given to me, I'd love it if you used an example that uses different numbers so I can try to come up with the answer myself to check for understanding.

I've got four points of data and I know the pattern that would create the next points, but I'm trying to remember the process for turning it into a properly written out function. I haven't had a math class in eleven years and I just want to remember how this works lol.

So the four points I have are at (1, 90), (2, 50), (3, 30), and (4, 20). The pattern is that each y value is half of the previous y value plus 5. Remind me of the process to figure out the function that creates this graph? I am so far detached from algebra due to non use that I don't even remember where to begin, I've been spitballing ideas around and I've at least recognized that there's a power of x greater than one involved as well as an inverse function, right? But then, a power greater than one would mean the value of y would begin to grow eventually and it never does from what I can see, it has an asymptote close to y = 10

My new gig allows hands free calls while driving, but I'm not to touch my phone even to so much as hang up. I have been using a pair of Sennheisers that I've had for years instead of a proper headset, but the company doesn't want me using it because neither ear is detachable. I am on an uber tight budget right now, so I need the cheapest possible option for a headset that is wireless, has a button to answer and hang up calls, and has one ear only or a detachable ear. What can you guys recommend?
